ABOY was in hospital last night after he was stabbed following a fight in a park. The 14-year-old is being treated at the Royal Hospital for Children in Yorkhill after the attack. Medics described his condition as serious but not life-threatening.
Police had taped off a substantial part of King’s Park last night after an altercation between a group of youths turned bloody.
A number of officers were on the scene in the quiet South Side park, as well as a paramedic car, police sniffer dogs and an ambulance.
One resident of apartments within the park said his neighbour saw a group of “around 13 or 14” youths flee south from the scene of the fight.
Another passerby told how he had seen police dogs sniffing in bushes.
Police are investigating the attack and urged anyone with information to contact them.
